ABSTRACT:
A motion transmitting remote control assembly (10) comprising a conduit (12) and a motion transmitting core element (14) movably supported in the conduit (12). A support fitting (16) supports the conduit (12) through an aperture (18) in a support structure (20) and includes a body portion (22 and 24) and first integral abutment (26) for abutting one extremity of the aperture (18) and second integral abutment (28) spaced along the body portion (22 and 24) from the first abutment (26). A U-shaped retaining member (30) is removably mounted on the body portion (22 and 24) and has a first surface (32) engaging the second abutment (28). The assembly (10) is characterized by the retaining member (30) including a pair of tabs (34) extending outwardly in a cantilever fashion from a position adjacent the first surface (32) to distal ends for engaging the support structure (20) about the aperture (18) for retaining the support fitting (16) tightly in the aperture (18) whereby the retaining member (30) may be removed from the body portion (22 and 24) and replaced by another like retaining member. The retaining member 30 extends between the two spaced abutments 26 and 28 of the support fitting 16 so that the retaining member 30 must be retained on the support fitting 16 when disposed in the aperture 18.
